the population
Age distribution
Population 2025 from Statistics Sweden for the 6 statistical areas (DeSO) covering Knivsta, 12,406 inhabitants in total. The locality itself has 9,771 inhabitants. A statistical area follows no locality boundary, so the figures describe the area around the locality, not the locality alone.
driving timeFrom here and away
